KSR Today: Kentucky Football continues to break barriers

Mark Stoops sure has come a long way in nine years as the head coach at Kentucky. From a 2-10 record in his first season to a 10-3 finish in 2021, Stoops is taking the UK program to heights that were legitimately unthinkable just a decade ago.

New Year’s Eve was another milestone for his career and the future of Wildcat Football. Kentucky fumbled away a 13-3 halftime lead against Iowa in the Jan. 1 Citrus Bowl, falling down 17-13 before mounting a touchdown drive on its very final possession to seal the 20-17 win in classically dramatic fashion.
